Alex is in his third year at ANAM, studying under Jeffrey Crellin.
Originally from Sydney, Alex graduated from St Aloysius College and completed a Bachelor of Music at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, University of Sydney, where he studied with Conall McClure.
Since beginning his studies, Alex has had the pleasure of working with Opera Australia, Auckland Philharmonia, Adelaide and Darwin Symphony Orchestras, and Australian Youth Orchestra.
Alex’s dedication to his craft has been shaped by masterclasses with leading international artists, including Nick Deutsch, Ivan Podyomov, Fabian Thouand, Diana Doherty, Johannes Grosso, Bobby Cheng, and Dominik Wollenweber.
In addition to lessons with Jeffrey Crellin and David Thomas, Alex has appeared in a wide range of chamber and orchestral performances while at ANAM. These experiences have broadened his artistic perspective and strengthened his technical abilities.
Beyond performing, Alex is deeply engaged with the craft of reed making, valuing its combination of precision, patience, and creativity.
In his downtime, Alex enjoys skateboarding and playing board games with his lovely roommates, Joshua and Shelby.
Alex is the 2026 Simon Lee Foundation scholar.
